Matthew Slater gave high praise for this new special teams addition

New England Patriots special teams captain Matthew Slater has high praise for one of New England’s newest additions this offseason.

Slater believes linebacker and special-teams player Chris Board will be able to make an impact. Board signed with the Patriots in March, after spending the 2022 season with the Detroit Lions. He has 115 tackles in his career, but he has been able to prove his value as a special teams standout.

Coach Bill Belichick gave him praise last season, before the Patriots took on the Lions in October.
